It was nice but some italian tourists were late and we had to wait for them, they also kept eating on the bus and things like that, it was unpleasant. The bus driver was really good at her job.
Too much to do in the time!

The directions to The Best of Switzerland Tours were poor when in reality it would have been easy to say' Go to the Bus Station, find Starbucks cross the road, minding the Trams and the Tour office has a window beside another tour company.' The young lady guide was a fine linguist speaking English and Spanish for our group. The tour possibly did too much so the 5 hours seemed rushed. Not enough time to savour the old town, a ferry ride across the lake from the 'Gold side' to the 'Silver side' when a boat cruise would have been more enjoyable and the cable car where there was a fairly tricky walk to and from the cafe for anyone older or with mobility issues. It was an apparently nice itinerary but too much was crammed into the time. It would be more successful with time to explore the old town and a lake cruise. I don't object to coach tours BUT being herded on and off at speed to fulfill too busy an itinerary wasn't great in my view.
